Guiding self-assembly of active colloids by temporal modulation of activity
Bo Zhang, Alexey Snezhko, Andrey Sokolov
Self-organization phenomena in ensembles of self-propelled particles open pathways to the synthesis of new dynamic states not accessible by traditional equilibrium processes. The c…
A simple catch: thermal fluctuations enable hydrodynamic trapping of microrollers by obstacles
Ernest B. van der Wee, Brendan C. Blackwell, Florencio Balboa Usabiaga +4
It is known that obstacles can hydrodynamically trap bacteria and synthetic microswimmers in orbits, where the trapping time heavily depends on the swimmer flow field and noise is…
Polar state memory in active fluids
Bo Zhang, Hang Yuan, Andrey Sokolov +2
Spontaneous emergence of correlated states such as flocks and vortices are prime examples of remarkable collective dynamics and self-organization observed in active matter. The for…
Motion of two micro-wedges in a turbulent bacterial bath
Andreas Kaiser, Andrey Sokolov, Igor S. Aranson +1
The motion of a pair of micro-wedges ("carriers") in a turbulent bacterial bath is explored using computer simulations with explicit modeling of the bacteria and experiments. The o…
Mechanisms of carrier transport induced by a microswimmer bath
Andreas Kaiser, Andrey Sokolov, Igor S. Aranson +1
Recently, it was found that a wedgelike microparticle (referred to as "carrier") which is only allowed to translate but not to rotate exhibits a directed translational motion along…
Transport powered by bacterial turbulence
Andreas Kaiser, Anton Peshkov, Andrey Sokolov +3
We demonstrate that collective turbulent-like motion in a bacterial bath can power and steer directed transport of mesoscopic carriers through the suspension. In our experiments an…
Living Liquid Crystals
Shuang Zhou, Andrey Sokolov, Oleg D Lavrentovich +1
Collective motion of self-propelled organisms or synthetic particles often termed active fluid has attracted enormous attention in broad scientific community because of it fundamen…
